What a Friend we have in JESUS!

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

Oh, what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never, never, never be discouraged, oh no

Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful

Who with all our sorrows share?

Jesus know our every weakness

Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior still our refuge

Take, take it to the Lord in prayer

Do your friends despise or forsake you?

Take it to the Lord, take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He'll take you and shield you

You will find, you will find solace there
